Our
Lady Outreach Network embraces and sponsors Catholic-Faith-based volunteer
service opportunities with specific interest in Latin America. We are an
organization of people from diverse backgrounds, skills and interests who serve
humanity under one mantle.We come together as one with the
Church to fight poverty, improve education and assist as needed in the
communities we serve. Through perseverance in prayer to Our Lady, we support
and promote the opus of membership through recruitment, resources, network
opportunities and loving activism.

The eyes of the poor are most likely to see Christ and, through Him, to see the face of God. - Pope Francis

Casa Hogar of
Cordoba, is an institution that works at taking care of children and adolescents who do not have the opportunity to grow up in their own homes or simply
don't have a home. In general, the children are orphans,
abandoned, or of parents that are being detained. Casa Hogar of Cordoba, Veracruz México was founded in
1972 and offers a life of dignity for children so that they can develop and grow up in a
safe environment, receive an education and in so better themselves and become productive
members of society.

Typically there are between 30-40 children living at Casa Hogar

Our intention
with Casa Hogar is to provide for some much needed structural repairs to the
aging facility. Likewise we know that
our efforts to assist and interact with the children and staff will provide
hope where there sometimes is only despair in the life of those that each day
live without knowing the closeness of family relationships.

The Family of Ruben Duran Roman & Olivia Rivera

Ruben and Olivia are the parents of Elizama (17), Jabob (15), Rebeca
(9) and Neftali (7).They live in
Córdoba Veracruz, México.Ruben works on
a ranch in a remote location and is away from home the majority of time.Olivia works 6 days a week as a caretaker/housekeeper.

Elizama suffers from physical disabilities and requires around the
clock care.She is unable to walk or sit
up on her own. Olivia wakes each morning around 5:00 am, prepares her home and
family for the day.Then at 6:45 am she walks to her job. Jacob the oldest boy leaves shortly thereafter to attend
school.Rebeca and Neftali remain at
home with Elizama and provide for her care until Olivia returns home at the close
of the day.

This scenario is very common for many families in México.The working poor who do not have access to
social assistance programs or formal education.

Our goal is to assist the family and give them the opportunity to
live a life of dignity and purpose and eventually one of self reliance.We hope by doing this, the family will remain
together. Thus providing the opportunity for Jacob and his siblings to
breakthe cycle of poverty and
illiteracy. We want to especially help Elizama so that she can experience
simple freedoms and joys such as going outside for a ride in a wheelchair.
Perhaps Rebeca and Neftali will even have the opportunity, unlike their parents
to attend school and learn to read and write. We can make a difference and lighten
the emotional and financial load on this family.

Asilo de Ancianos Emaus. (The Nursing
Home of Emaus). Emaus
is run by Hermanas de la Caridad de Santa Ana (Sisters of The Charity of Saint
Ana)

On July 9, 1991 a
community of three Sisters opened the
Nursing Home in the City of Córdoba, Veracruz, Mexico. At the beginning of the
Foundation, the Community was also appointed to ensure the organization and
administration of the House of Evangelism and Church by way of weekend group meetings
and retreats.

At present, the
Community, formed by the three Sisters, is responsible for the management of
the residence "Emmaus" as
well as nursing, essential provisions, kitchen and laundry. The Center, which
is owned by the Congregation, also has 19 lay workers and serves fifty elderly
residents. They organized the Health Pastoral Centre with the joint participation
with the whole community including 9 laymen. The Sisters provides staff training and visits
with the elderly. Other pastoral activities include compliment ing the FSA and
vocational instruction to youth. Outside of the center, they work with the
Diocese of Córdoba with the Pre-Vocational Life.

Our Mission Group will include our own 3 Franciscan Sisters of the Immaculate Heart. Their vow of poverty means that all of their travel expenses will need to be completely funded from contributions. Please click on one of the following links to support them. http://www.gofundme.com/gn8gy8

Today people are suffering from poverty, but also
from lack of love.~Pope Francis
